it didn’t ask what I’d pick, it asked what I was morally obligated to pick. it’s possible that if I had a kid I’d make the morally wrong choice of saving my own child and letting ten kids die.

Blindness as A Discrete Badness that happens to other people and can be cured or uncured and which holds some set amount of Negative Moral Value. Or even the opposite perspective of ohhh well it improves your other senses so it’s good actually. It’s not good or bad it just is. Accepting stuff for anything other than “is” is foreign to me

You become aware that a piece of machinery in your workplace is faulty and that if it is not repaired then there will soon be an accident which will result in someone losing the use of their legs. Despite knowing that nobody else is aware of the fault, you take no action. Shortly afterwards, the accident occurs, and someone does lose the use of their legs. Are you morally responsible for their injury?
